'Jamming Money (la période verte)' (B)
The
Artists Club / Coffre Fort (BE), performance, 17th June
2013.
"It’s a story of chance. This summer, the Belgo-Austrian artist,
collector and wine seller Kurt Ryslavy had to take the boat from Linosa
to Agrigento, to catch a train to Trapani, then fly to Brussels.
However, the boat couldn’t leave because of high desert winds, and he
missed his flight. After a week of dithering, he finally arrived in a
taxi at Lampedusa airport, on the neighboring island of Linosa, with a
new flight ticket, dressed in a suit, and rolling a suitcase on
wheels." » cont

atteignent des sommets de popularité, l’on est en droit de se demander
comment se porte l’un de ses instruments sous-jacents, la fameuse
politique culturelle résolument « progressiste » mise en place par nos
compatriotes depuis quelques décennies. Maintenant que chaque artiste
labellisé « contemporain » a acquis le statut médiatique d’une vedette
de feuilleton télévisé, que chaque universitaire se voit proposer un
diplôme supplémentaire en « curating » et que chaque bourgade possède,
en plus d’un club de foot en première division, son centre d’art
flambant neuf, les institutions du nord clament avec fierté la
pertinence de leur production culturelle ..." » cont
